I'm a huge Beretta fan and own many of them, but even I have a hard time telling the differences apart.
 Sorry I couldn;t help you and welcome aboard! |

Angled dustcover is nasty, disgusting and ugly. People should feel ashamed for liking them.
That said, I think Beretta just uses whatever is in the pipeline and available. Italy seems to have more angled than straight DC non M9's from what I've seen. |

I bought a lightly used M9 a few years back, and then while looking around online at other Berettas, I saw a stainless 92 on a site. I had seen the new angled dust covers on various sites (didn't like how they looked though) and checked with the people at the company to see if they still had one with the straight cover. The woman I talked to said the one in the pic they had up was sold, but she went and found one, took a phone pic and sent it to me and I said "I'll take it."

Hey thanks for the informative replies. Also, does anyone know what dust cover type the brigadiers typically have these days?

Also, Ill have you know that I actually prefer the angled slide, I guess Im a freak like that
 , so I just want to know the oddsof finding recent production 92s with the angled dust cover, and if otfalls under current production.

Thank you my good man. I too have perused their site and sometimes I have trouble differentiating between angled and straight, its the damndest thing.
Looking at this pic I can clearly see it though. |

Any newer 92 without a rail should have an angled dustcover, while M9's should have straight dustcovers. That said, Beretta does seem to offer a lot of "parts bin special" variants that never make it into their regular catalog, so it's possible that there are new 92 models out there with straight dust covers. For example, I don't think that the DAO 92X's that were for sale all over the place a few months ago were ever regular catalog items.

Looking at this pic I can clearly see it though. You're welcome! Honestly, it's a subtle angle, and if the type wasn't there on the right side of the guard, it wouldn't stand out as much that it is angled. |

Angled is far more common as time goes on. Because the M9 was adopted before the angled dust cover was a thing, all M9's will have the straight dust cover. I find it much harder to find the straight dust cover models. I'll gladly trade angled for straight dust covers.

It is my understanding that the angled dust covers came about when Beretta started producing the 92 in 40s&w, it was done to add strength to the frame.

I also had the same impression, but I wonder if the angled dust cover was really necessary for the .40 cal variations. That being said, I prefer the angled versions regardless.

Beretta is still manufacturing straight dust cover 92FS models, though it seems like a crap shoot as to which one you will get.
I bought this brand new Beretta the other week and am VERY happy it came with the best looking (straight) dust cover.  Attached File |

Any dust cover with lawyer verbiage is wrong.

This is a 92x Defensive. Seems to be only available in Italy at this time. I could be wrong, but would you say this is a straight dust cover? I wonder because this is a brand new Italian production model, and I can't make heads or tails out of it. |

They probably have extra straight dust cover frames left over from the M9 program winding down.

Thanks for the input. So should I take it that the angled cover is standard for all non railed 92 variants with the exception of the m9?
